Fisheries: Fisheries are also an important economic activity as it provides sustainable livelihood and nutrition. The sector is broadly classified into various sub sectors depending upon the location of resources and pattern of exploitation. All the three sub sectors viz. Marine, Inland and Brackish water fisheries have huge potential as Gujarat state has longest coastal area. Whereas, in the land-locked district will have potential only for inland fisheries.

Inland fisheries is further classifies into Capture fisheries and Culture fisheries, based on the nature of exploitation. Capture fisheries refers to exploitation of naturally available resources without any stock management. While, Culture fisheries or aquaculture involves farming of fish\prawn in smaller and confines water bodies like ponds and tanks. Aquaculture can be fresh water aquaculture, if practiced in fresh water and brackish water aquaculture if done in saline water. Mari culture of sea farming is another potential activity in costal\open seawater (e.g. seaweed farming, lobster fattening, oyster culture etc.)

RENWEABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY AND WATSE: One of the most critical challenges of the immerging economies facing today is the energy requirement and at the same time judicious use of the natural resources and thus save the foreign currency. India spends heavily on conventional sources of energy. Climate change concerns, coupled with high oil prices are driving the growth of renewable energy not only in India but also across the globe. Renewable energy sources, the primordial power and energy of Sun, wind, water, wood and water or biomass energies have been silently serving the mankind since the pre-fossil fuel era. These sources are ecologically safe and are either infinite or replenishing themselves. The increasing cost of fuel based conventional electricity has caused a distressed interest in man to look up to the natural sources for meeting the daily energy requirements. The conventional sources of energy such as petroleum oil, gas and coal are finite and already depleting rapidly. Renewable sources of energy like solar power have entered the Indian energy sector. Government of India provides incentives to the projects through subsidies and tax holidays. NABARD has prioritized the renewable sources of energy as a thrust area. Gujarat is the first State in the country to install a one MW capacity solar power project on the Narmada Branch Canal near Chandrasan village in Kadi Taluka, 75 km away from Ahmedabad. Renewable energy Resources: Biogas: Bio gas is a clean and efficient fuel contain 65 % methane, about 34 % carbon dioxide and traces of other gases, such as hydrogen sulphide, and ammonia. Biogas is produced when organic materials like cattle dung are broken down in the absence of air, in ‘Biogas Plan’. Bio Mass: Biomass is organic material of recent origin, which can be used as a source of energy. It generally includes crops and other plants, as well as agricultural produces, forestry, sawdust and agro industrial waste. The principal sources of biomass are rice husk, woody biomass such as flora, casuarinas, other agro residues such as stalks/cobs/shells, sugarcane trash, cotton stalks, mustard stalks, groundnut shells etc. The estimated power potential from surplus agro residues in the country is about 17000 MW. In addition, about 500 MW of power can be produces, if the sugar mills in the country switch over to modern techniques of cogeneration. Wind Energy: In India, 10 % of installed power capacity comes from renewable sources and wind power contributes about 7 % of it.

22. Solar Energy: Solar energy is an important resource in India with the potential to offer an improved power supply and increase India’s energy security. On an average, the country has 300 sunny days per year and receives and average hourly radiation of 200MW/sq km. The Energy India Portal estimates that around 12.5 % of India’s land mass, or 413000 sq km, could be used for harnessing solar energy. Solar photovoltaic Technology is employed for directly converting solar energy into electrical energy. Solar PV has found wide application in rural area for various important activities besides rural home lighting. Beside, solar thermal power technology is generally used in solar water heating system and solar cookers. Keeping in view the importance of solar energy, the Government of India has launched Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India has announced a scheme for financing solar applications under Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM). Installation of solar off grid (Photovoltaic and Thermal), and decentralised applications under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission has been launched with a view to promote off-grid applications of solar energy (both photo voltaic and thermal) and to encourage replacement of non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels, kerosene and diesel with solar energy to meet energy to meet energy requirements in rural areas under the Capital Subsidy Cum Refinance Scheme. (Source: NABARD PLP 2014-15 Ahmedabad) Gas Total 76.588 km long pipeline of Gujarat State Petrochemical is laid down for the continuous supply of gas to the social and industrial sector of the district for domestic and industrial consumption. Anand-Rajkot section admeasures about 48.178 km and Baroda-Ahmedabad-Kalol section is of 18.71 km in the district. A pipeline of 70.998 km is proposed in the district covering two sections Jafrabad and Gana-Rajkot Pipeline.

It is also well connected with Gandhinagar (83 km), Jamnagar (322 km), Vapi (323 km), Mehsana (126 km) and Ankleshwar (143 km). Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) Government of India plans to develop a dedicated freight corridor (DFC) linking

Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. The proposed DFC passes through six states in India, of which Gujarat accounts

for 38 % (564 km) of total DFC length. The influenced area of 150 km on either sides of DFC is being developed as

Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). Almost 62 % of the total area of Gujarat (18 out of 26 districts) would be

benefited by DMIC development. The State Government has identified 82 links in the DMIC influenced area to

upgrade them into two/four lane carriageway offering connectivity between ports, industrial estate, hinterland, markets and points of agricultural produce.

There are total 11 Mandli are working in Ahmedabad for the sale of agriculture produce with a view to accrue remunerative gains to the farmers on their sale as well as at the fairly reasonable prices to the ultimate consumers in the district. A high quantity of food grain production is lost between the farm and ultimate consumer in the district due one or other reasons. It is presumed that due to lack of proper storage facilities about 30 % food grains, especially horticulture crops are lost. This also leads to distress in sale of the produce, financial loss to the farmers and affects the consumption level of poor people, which ultimately results in starvation of the poor people. So, production and marketing are inextricably interlinked in the agriculture sector. An effective marketing system is the key driver of the ago-economy of the whole country. It aims at ensuring remunerative prices to the producers as well as smooth supply of commodities to the consumers’ economy rates without additional higher cost on marketing inputs. In order to protect the interest of nation in the global arena and the local economy, Government had initiated various reforms to address the issues relating to marketing and marketing infrastructure for agriculture produce. Thus, to meet the demand of the farming community for scientific storage to avoid more wastage and produce deterioration, Government of India has introduced capital linked credit subsidy for rural godowns, cold storages and creation of agricultural produce marketing infrastructure.

26. NABARD WAREHOUSING SCHEME: With a view to developing the warehousing sector in the country and to bring efficiency in the conduct of the warehousing business through the negotiable warehouse receipt (NWR) system, a dedicated scheme for providing assistance for creation of storage infrastructure with a corpus of Rs. 5000 crore has been introduced by NABARD. The Scheme titled “NABARD Warehousing Scheme” 2013-14 (NWS), approved by the Union Finance Ministry, envisages direct loan by NABARD to public and Private sector. Loans will be provided under the scheme for projects involving construction of Warehouses, Silos, Cold Storage /other cold chain activities. Projects financed under the scheme should not only confirm the norms lay down by the Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRS) but also give an undertaking for obtaining accreditation/registration from WDRA on completion of the infrastructure. Ministry of Agriculture, GoI has since advised that all NABARD assisted storage infrastructure projects would be eligible for capital subsidy under Gramin Bhandara Yojana. (Source: NABARD PLP 2014-15, Ahmedabad) 11. Airport Infrastructure:

(2) Large/Medium Scale Industries:

Industrial units having investment exceeding Rs. 10 crore in plant and machinery areclassified as large industrial units. An Entrepreneur or a company desirous to set up alarge project needs an approval in the form of industrial license from Government of India (GOI) under the provisions of Industries (Development and Regulations) Act, 1951.In July 1991, Government of India liberalized the licensing procedure and exemptedalmost all the industries from the purview of industrial licensing, except a few industries which are of strategic importance. As per the present licensing procedure, only twoindustries are reserved for public sector and four industries, which are of strategicimportance, need an industrial license. The rest of industries are required to fileIndustrial Entrepreneur’s Memorandum (IEM) with Secretariat for Industrial Approval,Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, on observing certainrequirements with respect to location and environment. In the case of setting up of an Export Oriented Unit (EOU) or setting up a project in Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a Letter of Permission (LoP) is required to be obtained from the DevelopmentCommissioner of the concerned SEZ. Thus, the procedure for setting up a largeindustrial unit would be either filing of IEM, obtaining Letter of Intent (LOI)/ IndustrialLicense or obtaining Letter of Permission (LoP) in the case of 100% EOU or SEZ unit.

Problems of the SMEs sector:

(1) The utmost Problem is very low awareness in MSMEs about government schemes and subsidies because of lack in corporate governance or due to communication system of the government itself. There are lots of incentive schemes and packages especially designed for MSMEs but most of the entrepreneurs remain unaware of it.

(2) Global recession of 2008 had slowed down the overall growth of the MSMEs. Due to failure of banking and insurance company globally, the global credit squeeze had reasonably affected the export textile and jewellery goods, which created temporary shutdown of production in the sector.

(3) Lack of skilled human resources has also affected the sector at noticeable level. Technology intervention is still very low in the sector. Artisans and weavers still have been remained unaware of latest designs and current market trends. They continued to manufacture products with old designs which fail to generate consistent demand in the consumer markets. There is still huge gap among the household unit owners/weavers/artisans and the designers/engineers. There is immense need to encourage engineers and fashion designers to work out with these small units’ owners, weavers, designers which would be mutually beneficial and help revive the sector and make it globally more competitive. Information dissemination about availability of recent technologies, literature on modern machinery, contact details of suppliers of raw materials, buyers etc. are very essential factors for the MSMEs.

(4) Another major problem related to payment durations normally faced by the MSME entrepreneurs. Mostly they are causing delay in payments and bad debts, which causes trouble in the working capital ratio. Low credit period provided by the suppliers and on other side late payment made by the customers also creates imbalance in the working capital.

(5) One of the major concerns is low credit availability to the MSMEs. Though, credit to MSMEs fall under the category of priority sector lending, but with the expansion of the priority sector lending to accommodate fast growing areas such as home loans, education loans; the percentage share of credit to MSMEs have been fallen down. There is strong need to increase the target of commercial bank lending to MSMEs from 20 % year on year growth to 30% which will enhance the credit facilities to MSMEs.
